IF you're still clearing up after Storm Ciara, there's bad news - another storm is set to hit Oxfordshire this weekend.
The Met Office has extended a yellow warning for wind throughout Saturday and Sunday, when Storm Dennis is expected to sweep through the county.

It says there is a chance of damage to buildings and travel disruption.
Heavy rain is also forecast, with a yellow warning issued for rain.
The rain warning was issued on Wednesday for the south and west but has since been extended upwards and in an easterly direction, meaning heavy rainfall is forecast for Oxfordshire.
A Met Office spokesman said the storm is not expected to be as extreme as Storm Ciara, but will still bring strong winds and heavy rain this weekend.
A yellow weather warning has been put in place for much of England and Wales on Saturday, including Oxfordshire, with gusts of more than 50mph forecast.

Steve Ramsdale, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "Another spell of very wet and windy weather is expected for Saturday.
"Although Storm Dennis is currently not expected to be as severe as Ciara, disruption is still likely."
Oxford is currently predicted hours of heavy rain on Saturday, from 3pm until midnight, with gusts of up to 52mph.
Storm Ciara battered the county on Sunday, and Oxfordshire County Council said it dealt with 153 fallen trees and branches.
